John Mayer Hits The Road Again!

During his Google+ Hangout Thursday night, Mayer announced that he would be touring again after his hiatus.

In 2011, the “Gravity” singer was diagnosed with a throat granuloma, leading him to get surgery later that year, which did not work as he expected. In August of 2012, he endured another surgery and his singing was put on hold. However, he still engaged in musical activities, such as playing the guitar on Saturday Night Live while Frank Ocean sang. During a benefit concert in Bozeman, Montana on January 16th, 2013, Mayer proved that he was recovering exceptionally and was able to perform.

Now after ending his last tour, the Battle Studies World Tour, three years ago, the singer is ready to hit the road again!

While being interviewed from Santa Monica’s Village Studios, he announced, “I actually just went to the throat doc,” and proceeded to display his flourishing voice, singing acoustically “Queen of California”, “Speak For Me,” “Who Says,” and “Dear Marie”, a new song.

Along with the exciting tour news and throat recovery, Mayer is also in this week’s Billboard. “The greatest gift I have in my life is the opportunity to play again, which is also the opportunity to dream again,” he states. “My dreams were in escrow but when I found out this thing in my throat had receded, the most exciting thing for me was having a second chance at a new life. My dreams have come true twice. That’s really cool,”

It seems apparent that Mayer is really blessed to have the ability to sing again, but when your whole life is essentially centered on your vocals, who wouldn’t be?
